    Nervous sound here

    Tomorrow is my Teach for America interview. I’m nervous and excited. Very nervous. But there’s a winter storm warning in effect for this half of the state. I’ve emailed them to find out what’ll happen if travel isn’t feasible or possible, so we’ll see what they say. I put out my last issue of the paper last week. When asked how it feels (to be done), my response was, “So very good.” Rumor has it, though, that there are big changes in the works already (i.e. for next term). I haven’t been told anything about it officially yet, so I’m being quiet. It’s weird when your barely former minions are…

    Ah-ten-shun!

    Step Afrika! was hot. T-dawg and I had a blast, and I laughed myself to tears. We don’t see any stepping here at Rose, so it was cool to be reminded that such things do exist outside of movies. The team was good, and included history (perhaps incorrect history — Imma have to check) on stepping. They showed what a typical pledging experience might be like from circa 1985 (which is probably about when they graduated), as well as stepping to spirituals (“Wade in the Water”), and showing how the gum boot dance of South Africa compares with stepping. Educational and hella entertaining? Count me in. They put on a…
